Oh Dear What A Very Very Silly Idea

This is to be my little diary/tale and I should like to apologise for poor grammar spelling punctuation etc but I am the first to admit that I am no writer, and to any family members who may read this I apologise for any profanities and stories of my past that may creep into this (If it happened in the past please feel free to skim or skip)

So decision made I shall be trekking up Mt Kilimanjaro. Why? I hear Sue ask. Why not I replied mmm maybe not the best response. So indeed why?. Well I guess I just want to challenge myself and to have something other than 20 years of partying to look back on when I'm sat in the nursing home having my bum wiped by someone young enough to be my grand daughter. Its not after all just about getting to the top . Its the giving up smoking, and getting myself into the right sort of shape (preferably not weeble wobble curves). So I booked the trip and then asked the question of how much training I should be putting in. The answer back from Tuscan Trails was about 4 months of 4 1 hour CV sessions a week. This is where the first oh oh went off inside my wee little head and Sue's "are you mad" was making a little sense. Still I've got 4 and a half months and some encouraging friends(cough). The next stage is to book a gym and rather rapidly I feel , then maybe choose a charity that I could try raising some cash for along the way. Well thats it for my first inbstallment as you can see dont expect the next war and peace but it would be nice if some of you followed this . Much love and fear Neil
